However, it initially did cause me to rethink my decision to use one which I appreciated. At times I do find myself generally accepting common practice instead of asking myself whether it’s necessary for my baby. I myself am planning on using sippy cups moderately and this is only for cavity prevention. I really don’t think there’s a correlation between the “vehicle” and obesity but really what you’re feeding your child.http://www.joanofalltrades.com

Cognitively, children are able to drink out of a regular cup by age 3-4 years old. Try other liquids (water), or less in the cup at a time (half a cup at once). the more children drink, the less they will eat too. Try cutting back to 2 cups of milk and throw in 2-3 cups of water and on. Don’t tell us to force our children to do something they are not developmentally capable of doing. Dr.s are stuck on repeat about that with potty training, why not everything else?

Was the fluid being consumed a variable or fixed among the group? Toddlers between 1 and 2 years of age should be drinking 16-24oz of milk a day.

Sippy cups are a boon to parents AND to the children. Carol Ho (above) is absolutely correct: it’s not the sippy cup, it’s what’s IN it! Foolishness …

Is it breastmilk, cows milk, formula or juice? I have avoided cows milk and my baby only gets breast milk (he is 14 months) and watered down juice (1-2 cups per day) – total of 3 cups of liquid and I worry that he may get dehydrated. Don’t mis-read this article – they need fluids (water/watered down juice) so they don’t get dehydrated. I think this article is not well written and I found it easily misunderstood.
